The 3 Essential Characteristics of a Successful Website

Wednesday, March 30, 2011



A website is, without a doubt, one of the most revolutionary tools ever
developed to promote your business. No other medium allows you to
engage a targeted audience from any part of the world the way your
website does. Which means that your potential client pool is much greater
than all other mass media outlets.
As a matter of fact, it can be argued that as a coach, holistic practitioner or
other type of service provider your website is the best, most affordable, and
most flexible marketing tool you at your disposal. Yet most people are
greatly under utilizing the potential and capabilities of this powerful
marketing tool.
Many things go into making a successful website. However, after more
than 14 years of working with coaches, healers and service providers of all
kinds I’ve seen that there are 3 absolutely essential website characteristics
that are necessary for success: affordable, attractive and effective.

How to Make $1 Million Before You Graduate

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

These entrepreneurs, interviewed by Forbes over the last three years, started launching businesses by the tender age of 9. Some of them identified problems and created companies to solve them, while others turned their hobbies into money-making ventures. Some teamed up with friends, parents and mentors; others plowed ahead on their own. To qualify for this round-up, the kids had to have cracked $1 million in revenue before college graduation and by age 22 (or be on track to do so), or had to have received funding that valued their operations at $1 million or more.





In the summer of 2008, after his high school graduation, Jason Brian started working in the marketing department of a South Florida car dealership. He knew the future of marketing was on the Web. "With half of the money, I found that I could double the results," by buying online ads and using search engine optimization techniques, he recalls. Three years later, at age 21, Brian spent "less than $10,000" of his savings to build a website that would help consumers look for cars. Autocricket.com made money by selling customers' information to dealers and manufacturers, which could market to customers directly. Six months after launch the site attracted the attention of two entrepreneurs in Naples, Fla., who invested $250,000. The site generated $1.2 million in revenue in 2009, when Brian was 22. In 2010 it did $6 million.






Showclix

In 2005, when he was 18, Joshua Dziabiak sold his first company--a Web hosting firm called Mediacatch--for north of $1 million. He bought a Mercedes (in cash) and a flat-screen TV, and used the rest to invest in other companies, including Showclix, his current venture, a website that lets performing arts centers, colleges, live music venues and other outlets sell tickets online, over the phone and at their box offices. In 2009 he raised nearly $1 million, which valued the company at $2.75 million. Showclix collects services fees (usually paid by the ticket buyer) of 7% to 15% of ticket sales. Those fees brought in $9 million last year.


Social Innovation for the Public Good

Sunday, March 20, 2011



Development workers have been looking for ways to creatively solve the ills and the problems of society for the past several decades. Thankfully, with the advent of social entrepreneurship, social innovation is now a big and growing part of development work all over the world. New strategies, concepts, ideas and organizations have been established using this framework of innovation. The education, health and community development sectors have also benefited from this.

Open source, which is also referred to sometimes as crowd sourcing, may be partly credited for the popularity of social innovations. When lots of people come together and they brainstorm for solutions, they end up solving a number of problems that seem insurmountable at first. The purpose of these innovations is not for profit, but for pursuing the social good. It also overlaps with government, public policy and even with the non-profit sector.

Social innovations have impacted several areas for the better. The following areas have been improved due to social innovations

Public Services. Governments are coming to realize the importance of providing healthcare to their citizens. Through social entrepreneurship and innovation, public services are becoming more accessible to citizens. Various technologies are being used for this purpose. So, as a result, more and more people come to rely on the health care provided by government.

Social entrepreneurship and business. Social services are becoming more available to those who need them. The good thing is, they are no longer provided using a dole out framework. Instead, people are coming to realize the importance of being responsible for themselves and not just to rely too much on the offered aid.
